Overall Satisfaction with New Relic
New Relic is used in the IT department to monitor servers and our e-commerce website. It provides server-level metrics, JavaScript error monitoring, and uptime monitoring for servers and the website.
- Server Monitoring
- App Debugging
- Uptime Alerts
- Can get pricey
- Infrastructure monitoring used to be better (and free)
- Reduce downtime length
- Proactive notifications for errors impacting users
New Relic does a nice job monitoring and has a nice alert system. We integrate ours with Pager Duty. It falls short with predictions and database monitoring which we just data dog for.
New Relic helped establish better trust with our business since IT actually knew what was going and that something was wrong before users did. This was huge!
Live/streaming data is the new standard and is necessary to keep up with the modern system. I can’t wait until other systems (like BI platforms) catchup. The proactive monitoring helps my team be responsive and the first to know, not the last.
New Relic is more affordable for infrastructure monitoring and had a more mature app monitoring suite (but data dog is catching up). Data dog has better predictive analytics and DB monitoring.
